Is laser hair removal permanent?

This was easy.

Yes and no. It will permanently get rid of the majority of the hair treated, but over time you will grow new hairs. The laser has to be done at a certain time in the hair growth cycle, so every time youhave a treatment, only a certain percentage ofthe hairs in the treated area are in the right stage to be permanently zapped.

No, because the body continuously produce hair. You will only get rid of the treated hair out, but new ones will eventually grow.

The FDA classifies it as “permanent hair reduction.” So far no laser hair reduction process has gotten the OK to claim “permanent hair removal” (although electrolysis has gained this distinction).

The reason you have to go back for multiple treatments is in order to zap hair follicles that weren’t growing new hair during the previous session (there has to be some growth in order for the laser to work properly). Once you’ve gone completely through the hair growth cycle, you are technically done with your regimen. However, many people have to go back for touchups to catch follicles that were missed or that proved resilient. Still, most people seem very satisfied with the results of laser hair removal, especially compared to other types of treatments.

Not quite, I’ve tried it once, a few years ago and the lady there told me it’s going to eventually grow back, but not as bad as I had it then. It was true. I think it’s already been about three years and I only grew back about a third of the hair I had. I do have to mention I am not a very hairy woman, but anyway. It’s not 100% permanent, you have to come back every few years.
